Red Merry

('Xue Xiang found a corner at the intersection of Yangliu Street, parked his motorcycle, and carrying three newly-installed blue and white porcelain jars filled with three peppers, he went straight to the corner in the northwest direction. As soon as he turned the corner, he I saw a sentry post in the distance, and it is expected that after the sentry post, there will be a plum garden.

"Comrade, call Xiaguan Chunlei for me." Xue Xiang walked up to him, and opened his mouth without waiting for the guards who greeted him to ask questions.When he arrived in Demei Garden, he was called Guan Chunlei, which Xue Anyuan had mentioned in advance.

The guard soldiers stared blankly at Xue Xiang who was wearing a woolen army coat in front of him. Guan Chunlei was his immediate boss and direct leader, but everyone who came here came to visit the old chief. Captain Guan.

Hearing Xue Xiangdaoming's intention, the guard made a gesture towards the checkpoint at the rear, and said a few words to the telegraph machine, and soon, with a bang, the gate of Meiyuan opened, and a big man walked out.

"Who's looking for me? It's so fresh. I've been locked up in Meiyuan for more than ten years, and it's the first time someone has come to see me." Guan Chunlei has a red face, an inverted beard, a strong physique, a tall stature, and it's hard to tell his age from a distance.Before the person approached, a thunderous voice came over, this kind of power lived up to its name.

"Uncle Guan, happy new year. I am Xue Anyuan's nephew, Xue Xiang." Xue Anyuan introduced the basic situation of Guan Chunlei to Xue Xiang yesterday, but Xue Xiang knew that he was fifty-two this year, five years younger than his uncle, and younger My father has grown up a lot, and it is right to say uncle.

"Xue-an-yuan! Are you really... the nephew of Lao Lian..." Chang Chunlei heard the word Xue Anyuan, rushed to the front at a high speed, and asked Xue Xiang by the collar. Full of unbelievable.

It's no wonder that Guan Chunlei lost his composure. The old chief had his ups and downs, and he was finally able to avoid living in Meiyuan, but the old company commander never heard from him again.Guan Chunlei, as an old man who survived the old guard company of the 229th Division, how can words express his feelings for the old company commander Xue Anyuan?It was a life-and-death friend who blocked bullets for the opponent in a hail of bullets and a bloody rush, and was a life-and-death friend who rushed to hold the explosive package to destroy the enemy's machine gun positions.Xue Anyuan has been here for almost six years, and Guan Chunlei never dared to visit because of the political climate at that time.It's not that Guan Chunlei is afraid of being implicated, but he is afraid of implicating Xue Anyuan and the old chief.At this moment, Guan Chunlei couldn't hold back his excitement when he heard that the person who came was actually the nephew of the old company commander.

These years, I have been imprisoned so much that I have not even taken care of the old company commander's family, so I am still the old guard company's Chongyiguan cannon.If the child came here today, he must have encountered some troubles. This time is different from the past, and I don't even look at who is here in Meiyuan today!Even if there is something big, I must ask the old chief to do it for this child.In his heart, Guan Chuntou decided on Xue Xiangsuo's reason first.

Xue Xiang held three blue-and-white porcelain altars strung together with fine hemp rope in his left hand. Although his right hand was free, it failed to pass Chunlei's big hand that stretched over to grab his collar.Just as Guan Chunlei finished speaking, Xue Xiang didn't answer, but reached into his waist and took out a gun. It was the bastard box that Xue Anyuan had confessed.

Guan Chunlei let go of Xue Xiang's collar, grabbed the Japanese-made Nanfang Type [-] pistol, and rubbed it carefully with both hands. Suddenly, tears rolled out of his eyes.Guan Chunlei didn't know this pistol, it was the old chief's gun back then, and speaking of this gun, he owed his life to the old company commander again!

That was 34 years ago.It was in 229, during the anti-mopping up campaign, the old chief received a notice from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to go to a meeting, and the 100th Division arranged for security company commander Xue Anyuan and guard soldier Guan Chunlei to escort him along the way.At that time, the division headquarters was more than [-] miles away from the headquarters, and it had to pass through the devil-occupied area along the way.Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei guarded the old chief and walked day and night, picking all the trails, and the journey was smooth, but when they turned over the mountain ridge near Zhengtai Road, something happened.

At that time, it happened that a special force of the devils - "Special Advancing Killing Squad" attacked the Taihang Mountain Headquarters in a surprise attack and was defeated. Remnant.This Mashiko stand-up team is specially disguised as our army, and everyone in the team can speak fluent Chinese, and specializes in assassinating senior party and government cadres of our army.

At that time, the sky was twilight, and the two sides encountered each other at Erdaogang. Guan Chunlei saw that the other party was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, and thought it was his own, so he greeted him from afar.Mashiko Shigeo, the captain of Mashiko's stand-up team, pretended to respond, and called his subordinates to turn the flashlight over. After seeing the face of the old chief, Mashiko Shigeo immediately took out a photo from his pocket for comparison.It turns out that the photos of the top leaders of our army are all kept by the members of the "Mashiko Stand Up Team", ready to assassinate them at any time.

When Xue Anyuan saw that the other party took out the photo, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed Guan Chunlei who was about to rush out of the hill to meet him, and protected the old chief in hiding.At this time, Mashiko Shigeo also recognized the old chief from the photo. How could he miss this important chief of the Eighth Route Army? Seeing that the other party seemed suspicious, he immediately called seven or eight subordinates around him to launch a strong attack.As a result, the two sides exchanged fire across a dirt slope.

Less than 5 minutes into the exchange of fire, Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei felt that the gang of devils were extraordinary. The opponent actually fired bursts with submachine guns, and the accuracy was exceptional. If it wasn't for the dark sky and impaired vision, the two of them would have been reimbursed long ago.The two sides confronted each other for a while, and Mashiko Shigeo led seven or eight of his men to charge. Thanks to Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei, who knew the danger, they each carried five or six melon grenades. Only then did the devil's charge be beaten down.

Although Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei withstood the first wave of impact, they were unable to retreat completely. Xue Anyuan was shot in the left arm, and Guan Chunlei was knocked off his military cap.Xue Anyuan knew that if he continued like this, it would be bad sooner or later, and the two of them had already run out of ammunition at the moment, leaving only three grenades to deter unsuspecting devils.At that moment, Xue Anyuan ordered Guan Chunlei to protect the old chief and retreat first, and he cut off the rear, but was flatly rejected by the old chief and Guan Chunlei.At that time, the old chief pulled out the pistol in his waist-a Japanese-made Nanfang [-]-style, and he was about to fight side by side with the two guards.But the old chief is purely a political cadre, so how can he fight a war.Xue Anyuan rolled sideways, rolled closer, snatched the bastard box from the old chief's hand, and pressed it against his temple, threatening death, telling the old chief and Guan Chunlei to retreat first, and he came to stop the enemy.Guan Chunlei had no choice but to drag the angry old chief to retreat.

Shigeo Mashiko also noticed the movement there. The surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army headquarters by the "Stop Team" failed. If he could keep the big fish in front of him, his squadron would be wiped out and made a profit.Immediately, Mashiko Shigeo led the rest of the devils who were still able to move and charged up, Xue Anyuan also recklessly launched a countercharge at this time, and the bastard box that he had snatched from the old chief was no longer needed at this moment, and was thrown away by him. Inserting it into his waist, he picked up the remaining three grenades, then pulled the rings one by one, and threw them out.Xue Anyuan did not choose to delay the throw, it was precisely to create a space for the old chief and Guan Chunlei to jump down Erdaogang in the shortest possible time.Because there was no time delay, the three exploding grenades did not effectively kill several experienced devils. Not long after, Mashiko Shigeo rushed forward with four devils again.

Xue Anyuan no longer charged recklessly this time, but leaned over and pulled out the bastard box, and fought back.Besides, he was unable to charge at this moment, and he was hit by two more bullets in the space of throwing three grenades.Xue Anyuan blocked the four devils for a few more minutes. At this time, the sky was dark. It was expected that the old chief and Guan Chunlei had escaped, and he was shot twice. It's not a big deal if your weapon is seized by the devils, but if the devils get the important documents in the interlayer of your clothes, the loss will be heavy.Thinking of this, Xue Anyuan gathered up his remaining courage, got up, and ran towards the south side of Erdaogang.

This place was a cliff, Xue Anyuan was about to jump off when he was shot again in the back.This time, he completely lost control of his body and fell straight down the cliff.Unexpectedly, his life should not be lost. There is a pool under the cliff, which is a branch of the Xiaoshang River, and the water in the pool is very deep.After Xue Anyuan fell into the pool, he was washed to a lowland downstream by the current, and was rescued by a peasant woman who got up early to wash clothes at the foot of Erdaogang.The peasant woman knew he was from the Eighth Route Army when she saw his attire, so she notified the local underground party.After that, Xue Anyuan went through several twists and turns, and was sent to the rear hospital before being rescued.In this battle, Xue Anyuan was shot seven times in the body, but fortunately he missed the critical area. However, due to the delay in treatment, the wound was infected and festered, and he was sent to the general hospital in the rear for a whole night of surgery.

It took Xue Anyuan more than half a year of hard work for this severe injury to recover his health and return to the army.After returning to the team, Xue Anyuan wanted to return the bastard box to the old chief, but the old chief refused, saying that it was a gift to Xue Anyuan, so that he could kill the enemy on his behalf and kill a few more devils.Since then, Xue Anyuan has been disbanded from the combat troops, marching south and north, conquering east and west, and under the care of the old chief, consciously or unconsciously, he has been promoted step by step.Since then, Guan Chunlei has been the old chief's personal bodyguard. For decades, he has never changed his position, nor has he encountered any wars.It can be said that the encounter at Erdaogang that night was the most dangerous battle in Guan Chunlei's life. Therefore, he remembered this bastard box very clearly. What's more, the old chief's surname was engraved on the lower left corner of the handle of the bastard box." Therefore, Guan Chunlei recognized the gun when he saw it.Xue Anyuan handed over the gun to Xue Xiangchi to come to the plum garden, not to remind the old chief and Guan Chunlei not to forget the life-saving grace that day, but to give Xue Xiang a pass.Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible for an individual to enter the plum garden casually and meet the old chief?

Guan Chunlei held the bastard box tightly, his tiger's eyes turned red, and he could see that the guards and soldiers around him who had not retreated were very curious.Guan Dapao's temper, who doesn't know the guards in Manmeiyuan, is freezing to death at Yingfeng Station, starving to death, who has seen him shed tears?

It hurts the most when the iron man weeps. The guards couldn't bear to see it, so they took out a handkerchief from their pockets and handed it to Guan Chunlei to wipe away their tears.The actions of the guard soldiers completely brought Guan Chunlei back from his distant memories. He shed tears in front of the two juniors, making Guan Chunlei's old face flushed, and he was a little embarrassed to step down.Unexpectedly, Guan Chunlei was quite like Zhang Fei's temperament, thick and thin, and when he turned his head, he came up with an idea, took the handkerchief generously, wiped his forehead, and said: "You are so clever, how do you know?" Am I hot?"

Xue Xiang and the guard soldiers who were standing on the side heard the words, black lines appeared on their foreheads, and they all looked up at the sky, thinking: Is it not snowflakes that are flying in the sky, but cotton?

Ps: "Advancing Killing Squad" and "Mashiko Standing Up Squad" disguised as our army are not fabricated by Jiangnan, they are true in history.Interspersed with the encounter at Erdaogang, it's not that Jiangnan digresses and pours water, but without this section, how can the friendship between Xue Anyuan and the old chief be revealed?After all, there are many soldiers who have guarded the old chief.
